Expanding Indian Health Benefits for Widows: A Letter to Rep. Carl Albert
The letter is in response to an inquiry about the Indian Health program, specifically regarding eligibility for non-Indian widows of beneficiaries of the program who were enrolled as members of the Five Civilized Tribes. The writer, Mrs. Sprague, mentions her sisters who are diabetics and in need of medical assistance. She expresses interest in the program and asks for more information on how to access funds for medicine and doctor bills. Mrs. Sprague also mentions her connection to Rep. Carl Albert and her Choctaw heritage. She requests an early reply and states that none of them have applied for assistance from the Indian Health Service before.
